Keri To Terekhol Fort Crossing Goa
The last post on Goa's northern border, Terekhol Fort sits on the headland looking out over the Tiracol river and the magnificent sweep of sand below that is Keri beach. It is easily one of the most captivating views in Goa, and is well worth the enjoyable trip across the river and up the steep, shady hillside.
Terekhol Fort (also spelled Tiracol or Terekol) was built at the beginning of the 18th Century by the Marathas (native Marathi speaking people). It was quickly taken by the Portuguese, who held on to it until Goa achieved independence from its colonial rulers in the 1960s.
Terekhol is accessible from the rest of Goa only by crossing the Tiracol river, which can be done on the free car ferry at Keri beach jetty. At low-tide the crossing is suspended for a few hours, though if you are desperate to cross, another ferry crosses 4km upriver.
Once across the river from Keri beach, it is a short walk / ride up the hill to Terekhol Fort.
The Keri beach boat jetty can be reached by the daily Kadamba bus from Panjim, or by public bus from the bus stop in Siolim (leaving 7a.m.). If you have hired a bike or scooter, go past the petrol pump at Arambol (stopping, perhaps, to fill up) and continue towards the Tiracol river that hugs Goa's northern border. Here, the road veers left and takes you through scenic Goan countryside as you descend to sea level. The jetty is on the main road, just after the turning to the south end of Keri beach.

Fort Tiracol, Goa
The only fort in Goa, built by its local ruler- the king of Sawantwadi - is the Teracol Fort. This fort lies towards the north of a rocky plateau. The fort is set amidst beautiful surroundings with the lovely backwaters on one side and the lush green forests on the other. The road which winds down from the rocky plateau has green paddy fields on both sides and coconut plantations with little red houses and temple towers protruding out at intervals.
To reach Teracol, which lies at the northern tip of Goa, one has to take the car ferry from Querim, which is about 24km from Panjim. The Maharaja Khem Sawant Bhosale built this fort in the seventeenth century. Later it was captured by the Portuguese, in the year 1764. The Portuguese rebuilt the fort and added the chapel and some other structures to the fort. They wanted this fort because it was at the gateway of the sea, and the ships passing by had to pay taxes to the fort.
The fort is built at the estuary of the Teracol river, at the northernmost border of Goa. The fort has a dry moat all around it and a magnificent view of the ocean. In the forts square is the four-hundred-year-old chapel of St.Anthonys. The Arambol or Harman village in the vicinity of the fort has retained its natural beauty, because the locals did not allow many resorts to come up in the area. The village has some of the calmest and cleanest beaches in the entire district of Goa.
From the Teracol Fort if one travels a little deep into the valley, one will find fresh hot water springs with sulphur banks. These are said to have a healing effect on many ailments like skin conditions and arthritis. The backwaters near the fort have many wild and rare birds, which makes this a haven for the amateur ornithologists. The beach has many palm trees growing along with it, making for a fabulous sight. The entertainment options include dolphin rides, water sports like parasailing, banana boat rides, and boat rides to the nearby Anjuna and Vegator beaches.
A part of the Teracol Fort has today been converted into a luxury hotel named Teracol Fort Heritage. It has only a few rooms, catering to the more privileged lot. It has a multi-cuisine restaurant in case you plan to have lunch there on your visit to the fort. There are regular buses, which come here from the capital Panjim. You can spend hours here looking at the lovely sea, shopping for small artefacts made by the locals and soaking in the few reminders of the great history of the place. The hotel has maintained the remains of this historical monument pretty well by repairing the damaged walls and other structures of the old fort.

Fort Tiracol, Goa
Fort Tiracol, sometimes known as Terekhol Fort, is a fort in Goa, India. Located on the northern tip of Goa at the mouth of the Tiracol River, Fort Tiracol is reached by a ferry from Querim, 42 km North of Panaji. The name probably originated from the Marathi tir-khol meaning steep river-bank.[1]
The fort was originally built by Maharaja Khem Sawant Bhonsle, the Raja of Sawantwadi, in the 17th century.[2] The site chosen was a hillock on the Northern (right) bank of the river, which gave a commanding view of the Arabian sea. The Bhonsles of Sawantwadi kept a sizeable fleet of native vessels which sheltered in the Tiracol River. The fort initially consisted of 12 guns, a barrack and a chapel
